Key Responsibilities:

Programming & Process Development

  • Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs for 3, 4, and 5-axis mills and CNC lathes using CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, NX, or similar)
  • Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and specifications to create accurate and efficient machining processes
  • Select tooling, workholding, and machining strategies to support optimal cycle times and part quality
  • Support new product introduction (NPI) by developing and validating initial machining processes

Setup & Prove-Out

  • Perform complete machine setups including tooling, fixturing, offsets, and program verification
  • Run and validate first-piece parts to ensure conformance to specifications
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to setup, tooling, programs, and machine performance
  • Establish stable, repeatable setups and clear instructions for operators

Production Support & Continuous Improvement

  • Collaborate with machinists, operators, and cross-functional teams to ensure efficient production flow
  • Monitor and improve cycle times, tool life, and overall process efficiency
  • Maintain and update CNC programs, setup sheets, and work instructions
  • Identify and implement process improvements including tooling, fixturing, and programming enhancements

Quality & Compliance

  • Ensure all parts meet quality standards and customer requirements, including GD&T specifications
  • Validate part quality through inspection processes and documentation (e.g., first article, in-process checks)
  • Maintain compliance with all safety, quality, and operational procedures
  • Support 5S and overall shop organization standards

Requirements

  • Minimum of five (5) years of combined CNC programming and setup experience (mills and/or lathes)
  • Strong proficiency with CAM software (Mastercam, NX, or similar)
  • Experience with multi-axis machining (3, 4, and/or 5-axis)
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and machining mathematics
  • Proven ability to perform full machine setups and prove-out new jobs
  • Experience working with tight-tolerance components, preferably in aerospace or similar industries
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Strong work ethic and commitment to quality and continuous improvement

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with exotic materials (e.g., titanium, tungsten)
  • Experience with high-mix / low-volume production environments
  • Familiarity with multiple machine platforms (Haas, Mazak, DMG Mori, Okuma, etc.)


To adhere to U.S. Government international trade regulations, applicant must be a U.S. Citizen.
